CONTRACTS vs. AGENCY AGREEMENTS CEE 2324 HGTC Clear, legally enforceable agreements are an essential component of the practice of real estate. Real estate licensees must be familiar with both contract law and agency law in order to protect their clients, their customers, and themselves, against errors, oversights, and misunderstandings. This course opens with a review of the elements required of valid and enforceable contracts and the numerous ways in which contracts may be classified. The often-misunderstood “offer and acceptance” process is then discussed in detail, followed by a presentation of the elements and the terms commonly associated with real estate contracts. Next, the text illustrates the characteristics of agency, along with the elements required of valid and enforceable agency agreements. Emphasis is placed on describing the important dissimilarities between agency agreements and contracts. 4 hrs. $60 YREA 572-01-2032 Th 8:30am-12:30pm YREA 572-70-2031 T 8:30am-12:30pm YREA 572-02-3009 Th 8:30am-12:30pm YREA 572-70-3008 W 8:30am-12:30pm Mar 24 CCAR Mar 29 CCAR Jun 23 CCAR Jun 29 CCAR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FUNDAMENTALS CEE 2336 Real estate brokers, and real estate salespersons working under the supervision of their brokers, are allowed to participate in property management activities.
